the table decker at 81 900, and his assist

also yeomen OF the pan'ries, ladies OF the
linen room aud q vast array OF chamber
maids, lamp lighters, washers, etc. The
coal department alone employs thirteen
persons. Directly about her Majestys
person are the mistress OF the robes, the
groom of the robes, the keeper OF tho pri-
vate purse, or financial secretary to the
Queen, eight maids of honor, as many
bed-chamber women and numerous maids
for other functions-all these under con-
troll of the lord chamberlain, who receives
$40 900 year and Is assisted by the groom
of the stole. Next to the ladies who attend
directly on the Queen come the gentlemen
of the private household, viz: Eight lords
in waiting, as many grooms in waiting and
divers gentlemen ushers of the privy cham
Der, grooms OF the privy chamber, grooms
of the great chamber and pages of the back
stairs. In short, life at the court, even in
the most ordinary times, Is carried on with
tuch ponderous socinl machinery and
routine that it almost makes ono tired TO
hear of IL. But. in addition to all these,
there are two distinct sets OF officials for
extraordinary occasions with independent
functions and different codes of ceremoni-
nj and etiquette. At the head Ct one OF
those is tho marshal Of the ceremonies. He
manages the etiquette on the state occl-
sions and conducts foreign ambassadors
to tho Queens presence. The 9TH
or is the court of the Marshnlsea, which
has legal jurisdiction OF all crimes and mis-
| demeanors committed within the Queens

justice, with the same general law as Other
English courts. but with far more cere-
mony, and vastly more expense in pro-
portion 10 the work it does. The knight

A Planet Taken with Commissions.

A correspondent of the Pioneer Press,
of India, gives the following account Of
''facts as witnessed by myself, wife and
two Mahommedan servants, all four see
ing the phenomenon simultaneously, and
not for a minnie or so, but for upward
of an hour" SAT about s 80 O'Clock in
the evening, while sitting at dinner, one
of my khitmutgars came in from the out
side and said: Sir, just step out and
see what tamasha is taking place with
the star Sook-the native name for
Venus. Out we went, and sure enough,
there was Venus, large and bright, but,
strange to say, falling two, three and
four feet at time, then oscillating from
right to left; sometimes dashing to the
right and then to the left several feet at
time. These movements continued in
rapid succession, and were plainly APP
parent to all at once; but this was NOT all,
Venus, when we first saw her, was, say,
apparently some four hundred yards
above horizon. While watching her, NE
observed star (some two yards, to look
att above suddenly fall into Venus and
there remain. We were amazed. The
natives exclaimed: The last day is at
hand. and so on. We watched Venus
rapidly descending until she dipped the
horizon. At times she appeared her usual
size and quite bright, then again hardly
visible. Perhaps the phenomenon de
scribed can be explained by some one
versed in astronomy. l again repeat
that what has been described was seen by
myself, wife and two native servants,

The Origin Of the Fairy cinderella.

1t has been said that not one sweet girl

Of her babyhood, Cinderella. A core
Ipondent sends me the following: ssCin-
derella's real name was Rhodope, and she
was beautiful Egyptian maiden, who
lived go years before the common era
and during the reign of Psammetieus, one
Of the twelve Kings Of Egypt. One day
Rhodope ventured to battle in clear
stream near her home, and meanwhile
left her shoes, which must have been
unusually small, lying on the bank. An
eagle passing above Glanced to catch
sight of the little sandals, and installing
them for tOothsome tidbit, pOuRced
down and carried one off in his beak.
The bird unwittiagly played the part Of
airy godmother, for, flying directly over
Memphis, where King Psammetieas WAS
dispensing justice. it let the shoe fall
light into the Kings lap. Its size, beauty
aud dsintiness Immediately attracted the
royal eye, and the King, determined upon
knowing the wearer OF so cunning shoe,
sent through all his kingdom in search Of
the foot that would fit il. The messea-
ger finally discovered RhodOpe. fitted on
the shoe and carried her in triumph to
Memphis, where she became the Queen
Of the King Psammetieus. "-Loasloa

A Costly Dinner.

The public hears from time to time
about EXPENSIVE dinners that are given
by wealthy men. Gen. George A. Sheri-
dan, of New York, struck this topic the
other day in conversation, and told this
story: :,
"During the 1880 campaign two good
friends of mine bluffcd each other into
bet of 5000 on Garfield and Hancock.
They were both full of sand, and both
would have paid in case of losing the
bet. I knew that neither of them could
afford to pay. The next morning after
the bet was made, and after they had
cooled down I got them together and
played ny hand. I told them what
fools they were to bet 5000 apiece and
got them to compromise on dinner for
fifteen persons at Delmonico's, having
the understanding that Twas to order the
dinner. Well, we had the dinner. l
went to sec Charley Delmonico about 1t,
and told him wanted the best Dime
he could serve for fifteen persons. lie
wanted to know if I would limit him to
the cost of the wines, and l told him OF
course not as I did not care, so long as
the wine did not cost $1,000 1000 bot
tie. He then wanted to know what my
idea was, and l said that 1 presumed
that he would serve big dinner at 800
a plate. He studied awhile and replied:
General, to be honest with you, I could
not serve any one with dinner at $500
a plate. can serve you with dinner
at $50 head, equal to anything that
any man ever ate or drank. Well, we
COMPROMISED for $50 head, and we had
a dinner, and it was dinner. My friend
who had lost the bet was so pleased for
not having to pay the $1,000 that he
called the chef and gave him $50 bill,
so that his dinner cost him $500. But
when l hear of 500 dinners l know 1t IS
chaff."

moderate Drinkinc."

Moderate drinkers engaged in pursuits
calling for judgment and acumen, and
who also use liquors during business
hours, end, with scarcely an exception,
as financial wrecks, however successful
they may be in withstanding the physical
consequences of their indulgence. Thou
sands who retain their health and are
never ranked as victims of intemperance
lose their property, wreck their business
and are thrown into bankruptcy because
oftipp' ing habits during business hours.
These men are not drunkards, and only
close observers can detect the influence
ofstrong drink on their department; but,
nevertheless, liquor gives them false
nerve, makes them reckless, cloud the
judgment and soon involves them in bad
purchases, worse sales and ruinous cou-
tracts. Sooner or later it is shown that
the habit of tippling during business
hours is forerunner of bankruptcy

The Wasp.

The wasp is found in most all coun
tries, but seems to have more business on
his mind in North America than any
where else. He keeps both standard
and solar time, and is always ready to
fill all engagement by either. He doesn't
care so much about what he eats, but he
is very domestic and must have home.
This is generally located under the caves
of building insured for its full value,
though it sometimes hangs from the
limb of tree or bush. AS no wasp en-
poets to live to see the new year come in
he doesn't break his back to lay in
store of pork and potatoes, and it makes
no difference to him whether coal goes
up or down. lie spends the time from
May to October in sloshing around, at
tending county fairs, horse races and
wrestling matches, and having more or
less to do in the harvest field and around
cider mills. 1t is q disputed point
whether the wasp can bite harder than
the bull dog, BIT the weight of opinion
is in favor OF the wasp. He seems mad
about something all the time, and 1t
doesn't make any difference whether ms
victim is the babe in the cradle or the
father in the barnyard. Five months "a
